For those with allergies, it seems the entire world is filled with obstacles -- indoors, outdoors, at home and at work. But with a little planning and effort, you can reduce your risk of an allergic reaction with the allergy prevention information on this site.

The causes of allergies are not fully understood. Your child can get allergies from coming into contact with allergens. Allergens can be inhaled, eaten, injected (from stings or medicine), or they can come into contact with the skin.
